The Maestre lab goes to Rome!

In a few days the 13thEuropean Ecological
Federation (EEF) conference will take place in Rome, and the Maestre lab
will be quite busy there. Fernando will be talking on biotic attributes as
drivers of nutrient cycling in drylands under global change at 8:45 on Thursday within the
symposium “S23- New emerging
drivers of carbon and nutrient cycles under a drier and warmer climate” (talk S23.1). Miguel
Berdugo will be talking about plant spatial patterns and alternative
multifunctionality states in global drylands on Wednesday at 18.30 (talk CS10.4).
Enrique Valencia will present a poster on Tuesday about how plant functional
traits modulate the phenological responses of dryland species to warming (Biodiversity
and ecosystems session, poster CS05.09). Ángela Lafuente will also
present a poster on how climate change affects biocrust ability to modulate
soil moisture dynamics (Global change ecology poster session, poster PS02.2). Also,
our former graduate student and post-doc Santiago Soliveres will talk about rare
species and ecosystem multifunctionality on Tuesday at 13.15 (Biodiversity and
ecosystems session, talk CS05.09).

So if you
are in the conference and want to see some of our latest stuff you know where we
will be. If you would like also to chat to any of us we will be around until Friday
there, so look for us!

We are looking for a motivated candidate to apply to a competitive call from the Regional Government of Madrid for funding a 4-yr post-doctoral contract to work in our lab. The requeriments of the candidates are the following:

* Strong publication record in any of the areas related to the research we do in the lab (for details about we do and recent publications check our webpage). We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in microbial ecology, bioinformatics or remote sensing.* The candidate should hold a PhD awarded between 1 January 2013 and 20 June 2016* The candidate should have been working (under a contract or fellowship, proof required) outside Spain for at least one of the last two years.

Please note that this is not a job offer, as the candidate will apply to a competitive call (a total of 25 contracts will be awarded for all knowledge areas). All the details of this call (in Spanish) can be found here. If awarded, the person would work in the Dryland Ecology…

We are looking for a motivated candidate to apply to a competitive postdoctoral call ("Juan de la Cierva formación") from the Spanish Government that fully fund a 2-yr postdoctoral contract to work in in the Dryland Ecology and Global Change Lab. The requeriments of the candidate are the following:

* We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in any of the following areas: microbial ecology, bioinformatics, lichen taxonomy, biocrust ecology, remote sensing or ecological modelling.* The candidate should hold a PhD awarded between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2016.* The candidate should have a strong publication record, with articles in journals included in the first quartile of the JCR database (the call is highly competitive and succesfull candidates are those with a strong publication record).* Previous research stays and/or postdoctoral experience outside Spain (for Spanish candidates) or a Phd from a non-Spanish university (for candidates from outside Sp…
